Who wold pay for a boxing channel ?

[Dia bando]

In the past i paid for setanta sport's i have sky it's getting out of hand 10 pound for a boxing channel,15 pound for ppv's. When setanta went tit's up they had 2 month's sub's out of me never got the money back, so how long do you think this channel will LAST.:mad

I have seen the line up to Box Nation and the line up is good, particularly as it is free for the moment. I was not intending to get it.

I do not have sky but when Manny is fighting I get it for that month, so was going to do the same and be able to watch Cotto v Marg fight as well.

I have ESPN anyway as part of the package so get Friday Night Fights which has been good this season. Get Euro sport which gets good fights shown 6 months after.

Boxing fans are getting squeezed out of the game with all these channels to subscribe too, but as I am missing more and more boxing I am realising that I am not as huge fan as i use to be.

so can you get sky sports channels on a monthly basis ? if so how much (and does it have to be them all or you can get specific ones)

also do you have to remember to switch them off again by a certain date or risk getting charged again ?!? that pisses me off and has caught me out before eg you can't trust them just to switch it off for you

i have to get mines through Virgin and the minimum is a month, think it costs £24, cost a couple of pounds more for the HD, and yes you have to remember to cancel it after the month, they will not allow you to do it earlier. Sky are the same on their platform, you can subscribe to them for a month.

No not for one channel,but would rethink a package.

[Saddo]

its all down to the quality... and is that £10 a month then another £15 to watch any decent fights via PPV?

I won't be ripped off because i love a sport... there are other ways to get boxing for free legally, like a motorised satalite dish.

Haye Vs Klit fight.

£15 on skyBO or primtime can't remamber
or
Free on the german channel Das erst.

I get both channels with my satalite setup

apart from America i think the UK is one of the only other countries to have PPV boxing (i could be wrong as i'm not sure about ozland)

but most big fights can be found on free to air europe channels.

but if its £10 a month and you don't get your arse slapped with extra PPV's and the fights are good then yeah that is well worth it IMHO

[hardcore_crash]

I would love a boxing channel
Or a boxing stream on demand like netflix type app

We already pay for mostly garbage fights in one way or another. Now they want more........get the fu*k outta here. What are they selling next boxing water ? I'll pass and steal whatever they show online like everyone else

[fan johnny]

Not enough bang for your buck when you compare it to ESPN. Why would I pay for unknowns when I read about a good fight I look for it online.

[Snakey]

Depends on the quality of the fights...but short answer FUCK OATH (you should add FUCK OATH in the poll..just so the aussies can answer with the correct lingo ).

Id also pay for a MMA channel.

In America cable packages are so fucked up. I pay almost $30 extra a month for channels other then the basic 150 Comcast offers. That means I get channels like Logo (the gay and lesbian channel) and all sorts of other useless channels just so I can get MLB Network and ESPNews. Seriously. SO if they ever introduced that channel in America, it would likely be grouped into a channel package. You can't buy channels individually here, they are all in packages. So if I ever got The Boxing Channel, I would also have to buy The Knitting Channel, The Kitten Network, Home Shopping Network 7, etc. It would probably run me an extra $30 a month and to get it I would have to have all the channels still like Logo before I was even eligible to get that package. Like Spicoli, boxing is 95% of the reason I pay $20 for JUST HBO (movie channels you can buy individually, not cable networks), so I probably would but I would be getting ripped off in the process. Oh well, as of now downloading fights suits me fine.

I already have ESPN and stream anything else decent so it'll be the same for this. Any old fights can be downloaded or watched via Youtube anyways. If you ended up paying to watch boxing on all UK platforms god knows how much it'd cost per year for:

1. Sky
2. ESPN
3. Primetime
4. Premier Sports
5. Box Nation

There may be more but it's a bit early to think...
